Marcel's 1/18 scale collection (Chevrolet Corvette C7 ZR-1)

[Mr.Impreza]

Been working on the garage lately (pictures not the best because of my crappy phone camera):









Next step is the ceiling and the lighting.

Wow! When I say the first picture, I thought this was a real garage until my brain reminded me this is a scaled model car forum and not a real 1:1 car forum haha
Basically what I'm trying to say is that is looks insanely realistic and amazing!

Thanks Mr.Impreza! I'm very happy with the result. More details will be added over time, but unfortunately my spare time is limited, so it's a slow process.

At some point i'm going to make a 1/18 pitbox as well, for my racing car models.

I am impressed you have added even the HVAC ducting and some wash basin.

Looking forward to how your collection grows.

( Being an engineering consultant these details tend to catch my attention foremost.)

Thanks Yeow Yi Fan!

Next addition arrived yesterday. It's the Norev BMW M1. I never added a BMW M1, and finally ordered one. It is pretty decent, especially keeping the price in mind. Underrated model.

Very decent model. I slapped on a set of 18" BBS, it looks killer!

The most comfortable car in the world has just arrived!

Sunstar Platinum Citroen DS. Pretty cool model, bit rough on some points, but given the price it's a steal. The interior is very nice and the softtop is made from leather. It also has fully sprung and adjustable suspension. Works with a lever on the bottom, how cool is that!

The next one was a bit of a gamble.

I never bought a model from a brand called Tarmac Works, as they are sealed resin and well north of 200 euro's here in the Netherlands. But this Nissan GT-R was for sale at 1/3 of that price (20 euro's below the GT spirit price), so I took the risk.

Well I'm glad I did! Although sealed, it's very nice in all aspects. Paint, details, stance, wheels etc.

Looks good!

And the last addition for 2018 is the Porsche 911 Sport Classic from GTS. Personally, maybe the best looking Porsche ever made.

I got the DE from Spark. She is definitely easy on the eyes

That diaroma looks really awesome!

[SPhilli911]

I agree, that diorama is great. I'd like to do something like that.

[Marcel171281]

Thanks gentlemen!

I finally decided to add a Porsche 918 to the collection. It was either going to be the Red Minichamps with white flames and black wheels, or the Martini livery one. In that case the AutoArt one. Although I really, really like the Red Minichamps, i bought the AutoArt Martini. I read a lot of negatives about the AutoArt, but I personally like it very much now I got it.

Maybe I'll add the Minichamps ass well, who knows.

Enjoy the pics.

Great pics, fits the diorama very well.

Thanks!
